How to Stake Aetheria NFTs
Staking an Aetheria NFT places you in the most exclusive reward tier in the AetherCycle ecosystem. This guide will walk you through the seamless process of minting and staking your NFT directly from the official dApp.
Before you begin, please be aware:
High Cost: Minting an Aetheria NFT requires 1,000,000 AEC.
Extreme Scarcity: There are only 500 Aetheria NFTs in existence. Check the "Mint Progress" on the dApp to see if any are still available.
You will need a Web3 wallet with sufficient AEC for the mint and ETH for gas fees.
Step 1: Navigate to the Aetheria NFT Page
After connecting your wallet to the AetherCycle dApp, select the "NFT" tab from the main navigation menu. This page is your central hub for minting, viewing, and staking your Aetheria NFTs.
Step 2: Mint Your NFT
Select Quantity: In the "Mint Aetheria NFT" card, choose the number of NFTs you wish to mint. The total cost will update automatically.
Review What You Get: Take a moment to review the benefits listed, including membership in the exclusive 500 Club and access to the highest staking rewards.
Approve & Mint:
Approve: You must first approve the Aetheria NFT contract to spend your AEC. Click the "Approve" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Mint: Once approved, the mint button will become active. It will read "Mint 1 NFT for 1,000,000 AEC". Click it and confirm the final transaction.
After the transaction succeeds, your new NFT(s) will appear in the "Your NFTs" panel on the right side of the page.
Step 3: Stake Your NFT
With your NFT now visible in the "Your NFTs" panel, staking is just a click away.
Locate Your NFT: Find the newly minted NFT in the "Your NFTs" list.
Approve (One-Time Only): If this is your first time staking an NFT, you'll need to grant the staking contract permission to manage your NFTs. This is a one-time "Set Approval For All" transaction. A dedicated "Approve Staking" button will be visible. Click it and confirm in your wallet.
Stake: Once approved, a "Stake" button will appear next to your unstaked NFT. Click it and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
That's it! Your Aetheria NFT will now be reflected in the "NFT Staking" card, where you can track the pool's APY and your personal rewards. You can manage your position, claim rewards, or unstake (there is no lock period for NFT staking) from this dashboard.
